Whole conversations can be shared with friends via e-mail from Twitter.com , or as individual tweets from the iPhone and Android apps .

Wednesday 's update also expands on Twitter 's abuse button . Already available for iPhone , now you can report individual tweets for abuse or spam from the Android app and Twitter.com .
